We visualized respiratory neuron activity covering the entire ventral medulla using optical
recordings in a newborn rat brainstem–spinal cord preparation stained with voltage …

Phox2b-expressing cells in the parafacial region of the ventral medulla are proposed to play
a role in central chemoreception and postnatal survival. Recent findings in the adult rat and …

Background: Central alveolar hypoventilation syndromes (CHS) encompass
neurorespiratory diseases resulting from congenital or acquired neurological disorders …

Nurr1, a transcription factor belonging to the family of nuclear receptors, is expressed at high
levels immediately after birth. Gene‐targeted mice lacking Nurr1 fail to develop midbrain …

Acute ambient hypoxia interacts with the ventilatory and cardiocirculatory control systems,
via the concomitant activation of arterial chemoreceptors and tissue oxygen-sensing …

Breathing movements are initiated and controlled by a neuronal network within the lower
brainstem that is influenced by peripheral and suprapontine inputs. To provide adaptation of …

During embryonic development, restricted expression of the regulatory genes Krox20 and
kreisler are involved in segmentation and antero‐posterior patterning of the hindbrain neural …

The ventral medullary surface (VMS) is a region known to exert a respiratory stimulant effect
during hypercapnia. Several studies have suggested its involvement in the central inhibition …

We mapped and characterized changes in the activity of brainstem cell groups under
hypoxia in one-day-old newborn mice, an animal model in which the central nervous system …

The caudal parapyramidal area of the rat brain contains a population of neurons that are
highly sensitive to an increase in the extracellular hydrogen ion concentration ([H+] o). Some …
